Morphology
hypothalamic = hypothalamus (transparent) = hypothalamus + ic
The adjective 'hypothalamic' is transparently derived from 'hypothalamus' with the suffix '-ic' indicating 'relating to'.
Etymology
Hypothalamic comes from the parts hypo- meaning 'under' and thalamus meaning 'inner chamber' of the brain. So hypothalamic describes the area 'under the thalamus' that controls hunger, thirst, body temperature and hormones.
